Instructions
Butter a 9×13 casserole dish, and set
aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk
together the custard ingredients,
eggs through salt. Add the bread
cubes, tossing with the custard to
coat. Spread about half the bread
cubes into the bottom of the
prepared casserole dish. Evenly top
the bread with cream cheese cubes
and raspberry preserves. Cover with
the remaining bread cubes, and
pour any leftover custard over top.
Cover with foil, and allow to soak for
at least 3 hours to overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat the
oven to 350 degrees F. Stir together
the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon.
Rub the butter into the brown
sugar mixture with your fingers
until it resembles bread crumbs.
Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the
casserole.
Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes,
or until bread is lightly golden and
custard is set.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes, and
then serve with maple syrup, fresh
raspberries, whipped cream or extra
raspberry preserves!
